To succeed in today's economic environment, check your ego at the door and embrace a new way of doing business that is about more than what you can control and manipulate. That's your ego talking.
The Ego Economy is dead.
Welcome to the We Economy.
This rising tide of the We Economy can lift all of our companies on thrilling waves of positive profits or capsize and drown us in red ink. We choose.
How do you navigate the change and positively succeed at work?
Here are three positive business conversation transformations to have today that say "good bye" to the Ego Economy and "hello" to the We Economy so you will positively profit.
"I did it" becomes "We did it."
In the Ego Economy, you could afford to get by on what you alone could do. The We Economy requires the creation of partner relationships with your employees, customers/clients, vendors/suppliers and more to generate a profit built on what "We" can do.
How?
Ask your employees, "How would you build a better business?" They are on the front-line of interaction daily. Listen deeply and tap their wisdom. Act to implement.
Ask your customers/clients, "What can we do better?" They bring you their hard-earned money in exchange for your services and products. Listen deeply for themes and respond immediately.
Ask your vendors/suppliers, "What are some best practices you see out there?" Take notes about the one that makes sense for your business and ask your employees what they think and how they would implement it.
In the We Economy, we succeed as we create partner relationships with everyone who touches the business. We do it, not I.
"I already know that" becomes "Please show me how."
In the Ego Economy, you stayed on top of the change-of-information trickle with little effort. "I already know that" was a reflection of the predictable growth of knowledge.
